    DBS surely is one of the nicest looking supercars out there and now it gets a convertible version as well.
    Power comes from a hand-built all alloy 6.0-liter V12 engine that develops 510 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) comes in 4.3 seconds and the top speed is 191 mph (307 km/h).

    I love Aston Martin, but it is getting old and boring soon. All their cars look almost the same. They need something fresh very soon.

    i really dont get a convertable DBS if i'm honest. Fair enough as a driver focused coupe but a convertable just doesn't have the same appeal to me

    Yeah, their cars do look quite similar. They still look f*cking great though!

    Whilst I also tire of looking at the mona lisa, I wouldnt ask Da Vinci to change it!

    In all fairness though, I do know what you mean. They are very similar cars, and dont really stand out from each other. However, you have to agree, they are one damn sexy car. I actually like the convertible version. I know the whole issue with a convertible/speed can sometimes pop up, I would gladly drive around in one of them with the roof down, even if it was raining :D

    Looks much better than Audi and BMW convertibles, but i guess that doesnt realy matter price range wise.

    Also agree with puzzlement on the existence of a DBS soft top, would have thought the focus was on pure performance with vague comfort considerations in the DBS model!
    Crap colour in the pic too..

    At a glance that looks very much like a new XK, I think it's the wheels?
